A Texas mother of three shot and killed a man who broke into her home while her children were asleep — but police say she won’t face any charges.
The woman was at her home with her kids on Kashmuir Place in San Antonio about 10 p.m. Thursday when she heard the man trying to enter the main door from the laundry room, News 4 San Antonio reported.
She opened fire and struck the man, identified as 41-year-old Roman Rodriguez, twice in the chest, according to KSAT. It is unclear if the intruder was armed.
When police arrived, they found the bloodied Rodriguez sitting on a chair in the backyard. He died on the way to the hospital, police said.
No one else was physically hurt in the incident.
The probe continues, but the unidentified homeowner is not facing charges because of the so-called Castle Doctrine, which allows a person to use force against an intruder who breaks into their home, News 4 San Antonio reported.
As I’ve said before, “Wait. Something must be wrong with this report.
I thought guns magically turned and killed the owners rather than home invaders? I thought that no one except the “only ones” (LEOs) were able to use weapons for self defense? I thought that fine motor skills totally collapse when confronted by danger? I thought that people had to go through tacticool training with former JSOC guys to be able to defend their life? I thought you were supposed to “run, hide and fight?” I thought that you were supposed to call 911, lay on the floor and grovel, and wait for help to arrive after they got through eating their sandwich? I thought only former military understood enough about firearms to use them? I hear that all the time when I read articles that begin with “I’m pro-2A and I shot guns in the military, but … blah, blah, blah, you’re not good enough … blah, blah, blah … I know what I’m talking about because I was in the military or a LEO, you’re in danger, don’t buy a gun … blah, blah, blah.”
And not only all of that, you’re just going to shoot up innocent people around you. Only the cops and tacticool operators with classes from former SEALs are good enough to kill the bad guy. “I guess we’re all going to have to recalibrate after this.
The narrative is busted once again.”

“the SO-CALLED Castle Doctrine” ~ News 4 San Antonio [EMPHASIS added].
One can hear the snideness in the News 4 story. There is nothing “so-called” about the human, natural Right which is the Castle Doctrine. Does News 4 subscribe to the Klaus & Nicole Schwab WEF school of thought, and believe we own nothing, so we live in “so-called” homes with “so-called” Rights? What about News 4 “so-called” First Amendment?
This may be a minor point, and, yes, there are larger fish to fry. But, News 4 is conducting subtle warfare, and disrespectful shots like this must be responded to ever time they choose this method of battle.
